Baptism: Ryan Smith
Before Christ, Ryan constantly battled between right and wrong. He grew up going to church with his family but was along for the ride. In college, faith took a backseat to academics and athletics. That is where he found his community.
Baptism: Danielle Marcello
Danielle didn’t start out going to church, but later her family started bringing her. After a few years, she stopped. At that point in her life, she knew she was not making good choices and sinning. She was suffering and going through a lot. Danielle didn’t know if she believed in God at this point. A couple of times, she felt like she didn’t even want to be here.
